“…From related studies in other regions, the research results of Wamalwa et al, show that the effect of human capital, physical capital, financial capital, natural capital, and social capital is determined by forest, crop, livestock, and off-farm activities in Kieni Sub Counties, Kenya [66]. Baruah et al, revealed that the training of aquaculture technology is of great significance to the development of the livelihood strategy of fish farming in the high altitude areas of Arunachal Pradesh [67]. Through a comparative analysis of the differences in the livelihood choice of tea industry by farmers at different altitudes in the Himalayas, Jairu et al, concluded that terrain location has an important impact on the participation of FLS in the tea industry [68].…”

Understanding the evolution of farmers’ livelihood strategies (FLS) is crucial for maintaining the sustainable development of farmers’ livelihoods, especially on the arid Loess Plateau, China. This study constructed a novel analytical framework for analyzing the evolution of FLS and the critical influencing factors. Changwu County, an apple cultivation region, was selected as a case study. The results suggest that four types of livelihood strategies (crop-planting, apple-planting, work-oriented, and part-time comprehensive) have emerged since the 1980s. The evolutionary process of leading FLS varies across geographic location. In the loess tableland region and economic fringe region, this evolution followed a progressive path from the crop-planting type to the apple-planting type to the work-oriented type, while in the loess gully region, loess ridge region, and economic core region, FLS jumped directly from the crop-planting type to the work-oriented type. The geographic location, training opportunities, garden area, cultivated land area, production and living materials, loan opportunities, and education level were found to be the critical factors influencing the differentiation and development of FLS. The analytical framework proposed here is also applicable for studying the evolution of FLS in other counties on the Loess Plateau, considering the representativeness of the selected case.
